After care
Day 1:
Do not touch the healing pigmented area with your fingers. With a clean and dry tissue, blot gently over the area to remove excess lymph fluid every 1 hour to prevent hardening of the lymphatic fluids. Before sleeping, rinse your brows gently with water and pat dry with a clean and dry tissue. Apply a thin, rice grain-sized ointment using a cotton swab.
Day 2-7:
The color may appear darker in the first few days. Continue to wash brows gently each morning and night with water and gentle, no-alcohol, unscented cleanser to avoid build up of oils, bacteria and dead skin, using fingertips in a light circular motion. Rinse brows properly, without leaving any soap on the brows. Pat dry your brows and apply a thin, rice grain-sized Ointment using a clean cotton swab. Do not over apply as this will suffocate your skin. Repeat the first two steps in morning and evening. NEVER put product on a wet or damp tattoo.
